Chocolate City

Chocolate City is one of the two cultural houses in New House that participate in the Residence-Based Advising (RBA).

Chocolate City is a brotherhood of MIT students and alumni who identify with Black culture, interests, ethnicities, and/or experiences. By cultivating a tradition of social, intellectual, character, and leadership development, the Brothers of Chocolate City exemplify a high standard of excellence which is founded on continual growth. We seek to enrich the MIT and greater global communities by embodying the principles of our brotherhood.
