Answer 1

Answer:

b. Members of sorority Delta Delta Delta advise their pledges not to socialize with members of pledges of rival sorority Sigma Delta Theta.

Explanation:

This is an example of the in-group/out-group dynamic, as it represents group members who strongly feel (both psychologically and sociologically) like a part of the group. Since the Delta Delta Delta members are strongly cohesive in a positive manner (in-group dynamic) they are ready to act together in a way that showcases the out-group dynamic (not socializing with Sigma Delta Theta members).
