Our Rhythms
For more information on time and location, contact us.
Equip & Town Hall
Every Sunday at 2:30pm, we gather for an educational lecture or discussion group on a topic related to our history, social justice, and advocacy.
Past topics have included the Black Panther Party, Intersectionality, Palestinian Liberation, and Protest Safety. Upcoming topics include ICE resistance, What's Going in the Congo, Resistance through Improv, etc.
All Member & Cabinet Meetings
The first Sunday of every month, we hold an All Member Meeting, or Town Hall, to discuss our initiatives, updates, and how to best serve the community as Chroma.
Every week, we hold an open cabinet meeting, focusing on those who have committed to extra responsibilities and planning. Read more about how we do planning and leadership here.
Movie Nights
Once a month, we gather in an apartment with friends and refreshments to watch a film that highlights minority voices and experiences.
Trans Christian Book Club
Bi-Monthly gatherings exclusive for trans and gender-questioning people to discuss and explore the experience of being transgender and Christian. Right now we're reading Transforming: the Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians by Austen Hartke.

Homework/Hang-Out Nights
Every Tuesday evening, a Chroma member opens their space to all Chroma members to come hang out, do homework, or chill in their apartment. Similar to Wheaton College’s “in-nights," but with an explicit orientation to safeness for minorities.
Field Trips
Once or twice a semester, we do a field trip into Chicago to visit a cultural or historical site. Past field trips have included the National Museum of Mexican Art. We hope to visit the things in the future.
Other & upcoming initiatives
Weights & Working Out
We are launching in February a regular group that works out and does weigh-lifting together in order to promote healthier and more capable comrades. Updates to come.
Chroma Library
We are currently working on compiling books for a Chroma library for the education and enjoyment of Chroma members. Titles (will) include Sister Outsider by Audrey Lorde, Mutual Aid by Dean Spade, Heartstopper by Alice Osborne, etc.
Chroma Journal: History and Documentation
We are working on launching an investigative team to document minority experiences and institutional discrimination against minorities within Wheaton College.
