Prefects: Gryffindor House chooses new prefects as needed. We do not announce, we do not accept applications, we do not accept bribes. We simply watch for students who exemplify the qualities of Gryffindor House, those who are thoughtful, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Essentially, Professor Hatshepsut Nayhan, and the Gryffindor Prefects choose prefects when they see students deserving of the title who are willing to work to make Gryffindor House the best at HOL.

Common Room Moderators/Jr. Prefects: These positions again, are chosen by the staff as needed. These people have demonstrated responsibility while posting in the CR and we can tell that they will follow the rules and have read the FAQs. In some cases, if these students have further proven themselves as active participants of HOL, moderators and jr. prefects will be trained as full prefects when the time and need arises. If you are chosen for a prefect position, you are required to read and agree to the prefect contract, which outlines all your duties. You must accept these duties as part of your participation as a prefect. The house counts on your enthusiasm to make the Gryffindor experience a fun one!

There are four kinds of prefects:

Prefect in Charge: PiC The PiC is a prefect who has demonstrated leadership and responsibility above and beyond the call of duty. This person is selected by the administration and participates in administration discussions on sensitive house issues and decisions. He/she also makes sure that the prefects are doing their jobs and serves as a coordinator for the team. This position is not given based on seniority.

Sub-PiC position: Prefect in Charge in Training (PiCiT "pick it") is a PiC in training. He/she goes through a grueling initiation process where they must learn to pick their noses discretely.

Den Leader: A prefect who manages a den and carries out contests and motivates her/his den to Gryffindorian glory. May also help organize contests.

Special Projects Division Prefect: (SPD) The SPD prefect thinks up ideas for house contests and carries them out. The annual Gryfftoberfest is among these things. There is one prefect who is chosen to coordinate the SPD activities.

Jr. Prefect: A prefect who helps with many of the duties of the prefects but is in training for the full position.
