Fantastic, fun story. You've got a great attitude, Bellatrix (wow, does it feel strange to type that...), and I wish you much luck!!

Remind me, those of you who keep up with the rules. If Parvati depledges ("de-new-members"?) can that chapter COB immediately?

This does depend some on school rules, but if the chapter would be below total by her withdrawing, the chapter could COB. Ususally, a chapter would wait until the next semester to COB if they were that close though.

If the chapter made exactly quota (no quota additions) and she quit prior to going through the new member ceremony/ritual/pinning, the chapter may "replace" her by offering a new bid to someone, even if they are above total. II don't think my holiday-weekend-haze has worn off yet-'m fuzzy on if they could "replace" her if she had already gone through the ceremony; someone else will have to clarify there, but I think the answer is yes? But, if the chapter is over total and received quota additions, they cannot extend new bids unless the number of new women quitting puts their total number of NMs below quota. So, if they are over total and received one quota addition and one woman drops, they cannot extend a new bid.

^^^^ yes this is my understanding.

Here's the quote from the Manual of Information (aka "Green Book")

Vacancies in Quota
When a woman negates her signed Membership Recruitment Acceptance
Agreement and refuses to accept her matched bid at the conclusion of
membership recruitment and does not participate in a ribbon or formal New
Member Ceremony, this space in the chapter’s pledge Quota was not filled.
Therefore, the chapter may immediately bid and pledge another woman,
even if the chapter is over Total. However, if the chapter has received quota
additions, the chapter may only pledge additional women to the established
pledge quota and not to the quota plus quota additions. Example: If quota is 25
and a chapter receives quota (25) plus 2 quota additions for a total of 27 new
members and three new members do not accept their bids the chapter may
pledge 1 new member to fill to quota of 25.

The good news: I had a ton of fun in Hogsmeade! The girls and I really had a great day!
The awesome (to me!) news: I got my Pottermore invite last night!
The not-quite-as-exciting news: informal sorting is not over for another week and a half, so keep checking in for updates!

Re: Parvati, she did the new member ceremony and THEN dropped.

Have fun, OP!

Me too...I'm like, "wait...what now!? Another house appears?!"

Whoops! I feel like I've done a million silly little things in this thread.

Cissy got her Pottermore invite, too!

I've been lurking on this thread for a while, and I must say, as a long time HP fan, I've really enjoyed your creativity, melindawarren.

I, too, am lucky enough to be one of those participating in Pottermore's beta stage—perhaps we should have a GreekChat list of people to add as friends?

Thank you!

I think we should-twinkle555 and I are now Pottermore friends. I wonder if there are other GCers on Pottermore? This seems like it could be its own thread...

The Greek Chat Pottermore Club, anyone?

I feel like such a dork, but I've been a fan of Harry Potter for nearly a decade…and so far Pottermore has been lots of fun (it'll be even more fun once Wizard's Duel is out of maintenance).
