No, not necessarily. Members extend invitations to guest. So if you only have one seat at your table available and you extend an invite, that invite can't bring a +1 unless there is another seat open.
In general, its typically more women than men. Lots of single women show up and show out because they are trying to snag a boule nikka.
For the men, it's a bit different. Don't matter where you are at on the black economic totem pole, one thing we all like to do is stunt. Typically do that by pulling up in a nice whip and having a bad biddy on your arm. Obviously, that's only if you can secure a ticket for a +1.



Depends :mjpls:..............................

on how well you are able to play a game we like to call "Negro Geography".

But forreal, I'm not a member. My uncle was president but died a couple of years ago so I attend with my aunt and her daughter as it brings back memories for her and helps with her grieving process. I was invited to join this and another organization but I have a personal thing where I won't accept invitations to join clubs. For one, I'm not the type to like to be pegged :dame: as a certain "type", but two, it makes me appear a bit more mysterious and exclusive, from a branding stand point .:mjpls:
The fukk, these nikkas be on that :dame: shyt? :gucci:I’ll just stay st reverie, Ceres and persona Smfh

East Room still poppin too :ohlawd:.

I'm usually at Persona on Thursdays you prolly have bumped into me.:yeshrug:
Yeah I've been to the R&B night @ Persona a few times.

You should check out Waydown. It is basically East Room in terms of diversity (and imo more consistent music). No dancefloor though but easy to talk to people at either bar and they open a 3rd bar in the spring/summer.

Lol that’s the designated black professional hangout spot after work on Friday’s

lol, we be late to everything.
ceres was really popping back in like 2007-2009. but it wasn't too many of us coming then.
those were the days when you had guys from the cbot and cme coming in to celebrate six figure days. shyt was wild, on some wolf of wall street shyt.
once they closed the trading floors at the cbot, ceres really fell off, and most of the finance professionals start going elsewhere.
my office was across the street in the Continental Illinois Bank building which is now the Wintrust building.

Pretty much.
The Chicago Assembly has been around since like the 40's. My uncle was a past president. It's one of a couple of social clubs for black men in the city.

Member Organizations - Coalition of African American Leaders - Pretty much every successful black man in the city, who maintains ties to the black community, belongs to one of these organizations, if you also include the BGLOs.

Pics from prior events









It be some fine bytches breh........


You already got a date?:lupe:

Englewood Chicago to Southwest Atlanta
I love Chicago mane. I been to jail and a mental health center 2 times since I been back but I’m getting more help than I did in Atlanta and the slow ass south.

Finna get some stronger meds for my bipolar and schizophrenia and possibly housing For homeless and disability people. Then when I’m doing better I can live like y’all and rent a jag for some ball like the nikka was saying
