Well, I'm still going with Perry being mind spelt somewhat to suppress her affinity to magic. Mel is already on her way to a nervous breakdown all on her own. I do wonder why she now has a specific beef with the Zetas, though.

Perry says they cycle with the moon. Not sure if she means the university uses a moon calendar for dates and festivities and events or if she means the female student and academic body have their fertile cycles synced with the moon phases. If it's the second, according to Carmilla, more periods banish with each full moon.

I'm assuming women are expecting their periods for the start of the waning phase (which would make sense: the endometrium grows with the moon, and as the moon wans, it is discarded; when the moon enters its crescent phase, the endometrium starts growing). Meaning the full moon is when the endometrium is at its largest, making it the ideal time to harvest the blood because you get the most quantity.

Also the full moon is the ideal moment to charge up spells.

So, somebody is making some form of blood magic and using the power of the moon to power up the harvest ritual.
