So my friends are all getting involved in this and and I would love to take part as well. However I don't drink. House elf looks looks like it could be a good way to do that. Are there other ways for a non drinker to join in the fun? Or how does one become a house elf?
@TOGSolid My fiance also doesn't drink (he's got 6 years sober now!) but I feel like the TWDT is the most awesome way to meet PAX folks every year and we are signed up on Ravenclaw OotP. I was wondering (since it sounds like you've already sort of considered this) how he could be a part of the crawl while still participating and having a good time? I think he's really going to enjoy himself with all the fun and excitement regardless

Just got my group of around 8 or so to join in on the Slytherin OotP side. Are there any rules about wearing alternate cosplay? I know one of my friends wanted to go in his Dark Jedi costume during the pub crawl.

From the OP:
You can also go nuts with completely alternate theme costumes! I have shown up in the past as Slytherin versions of Hunter S. Thompson, a frat boy, a wizardly cowboy, and classy Victorian wizard. We’ve even had someone show up as Carl from ATHF (FOREIGNER!). Just ensure that your costume doesn’t have any weapons (real or fake), isn’t going to get you arrested/thrown out of the bar, and incorporates your team colours. Do try and keep it relatively themed to your house and something you'd reasonably see out of the Harry Potter universe or an off shoot of it. For instance, my wizardly cowboy had a wand holster, potion vials in the bullet holders, and was blatantly House Slytherin coloured.
Jedi dress like space wizards anyway so they'd probably just look like Hogwarts staff haha.

I really hope "Dude with a history of being Mind Controlled and Cloned by evil space witches and evil space wizards, who wears Slytherin-y colors" is acceptable, because that's what I'm wearing!
I'm currently at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Los Angeles. I'm gonna buy official Gryffindor head boy and head girl pins. If you're Griffindor Death Eaters, like taking charge while drunk, have a loud boisterous persona and want free pins, sign up now!
Ok, I am not the most knowledgeable for HP stuff, so what are you all talking about.
Ilvermorny is the American magic school that JK Rowling announced (along with others around the world). She also included a back story on the founding of the school. All of this can be found on Pottermore. For Ilvermorny, she also created four houses (based on magical creatures). You can now be sorted into one of these four houses. There is some level of resemblance to the Hogwarts houses but they are also very different as the wizards in America had different wishes for their school. Gives you another chance to be sorted and more HP world history.
I'm trying to understand where to sign up. Do we just sign up via the forum? I have 3 people to sign up for whatever house needs it the most(is there a current count?)

Apologies for Gryffindor DE not being very set up yet. I was on a week long vacation. But I'm home now. I'll be setting up a common room FB page tonight. Also we still need a head boy and a house elf. I got real fuckin Harry Potter badges for my head boy and girl from actual Hogwarts in Los Angeles!
As a newcomer to the annual pre-PAX charity pub crawl known as the Triwizard Drinking Tournament, I was inspired by the t-shirts created by @ikelewis, and decided to create House & Faction themed buttons and bottle openers to help support the fundraising efforts.
Pin sets include one 2.25" House/Faction Badge pin and three 1" pins - "Accio Alcohol" to help with the drinking challenges, "Aguamenti" to refill your water cup at each stop, and "TWDT 2016" to prove you were there (even if you can't remember it).
Bottle Openers are 2.25" in diameter and include a key ring; attach it to your keys, or even better - string a lanyard through it!
100% of profits from the sale of these buttons will go to Child's Play*.
With special thanks to @TOGSolid for giving me permission to use the House Badge images and the go-ahead to make the buttons, and to @ikelewis for approving my blatant theft of the "Accio Alcohol" phrase.
*For the sake of full disclosure, I'm still working out exactly what the final costs will be, but I'm confident the profit will be at LEAST $5.00 per pin set and $2.50 per bottle opener. I'll update with specific numbers once I know what they are.

Ok, update on the cost/profit; Pin sets will cost $.78 + .28 in Etsy fees = $1.06 = $6.94 profit per set. Bottle openers cost $.89 + .14 in Etsy fees = $1.03 = $2.97 profit each.
I've asked @TOGSolid about allocating fundraising "points" for the sale of buttons, and while I was tempted to go with the option of awarding all the points to my own team, I decided the best thing to do is award points based on house sales (i.e. if you buy a Gryffindor set, Gryffindor gets credit for the money raised) - after all, as much as I want to win, it IS supposed to be about the charity, right? So buy loads of buttons and support your House, Faction, and Charity!

That feels odd when combined with my Ravenclaw sorting.
