The Secular Students Association was started in October of 2007 as a student organization that provided a safe haven for Atheists, Agnostics, Humanists, non-theists, and other freethinkers in the Elmhurst College community. While students were hesitant at first to “come out” as secular, SSA has grown from small gatherings to one of the more active student organizations on campus with about 70 members.

Chicago Skeptics Meetup Group
http://meetup.com/Chicago-Skeptics/
This group is open to any and all people who enjoy applying a skeptical yet open-minded filtter to the world around us. Modern skepticism is embodied in the scientific method, which involves gathering data to formulate and test naturalistic explanations for natural phenomena. The key to skepticism is to continuously and vigorously apply the methods of science to navigate the treacherous straights between "know nothing" skepticism and "anything goes" credulity.

Whether you call yourself an atheist, agnostic, bright, disbeliever, freethinker, humanist, nonbeliever, pastafarian, rationalist, secular humanist, skeptic, "spiritual but not religious," or simply were not raised in with an organized religion and have no interest in one, you are welcome to this group!
