When people are in a large group, they are more likely to conform to the situation's specific norms. In this case, since Adora and Yvette are going on vacation with a group of their closest friends from college, they are likely to conform to the norm of having fun and partying. This does not necessarily mean that they will become uninhibited or combative, but rather that they will follow the group's lead in terms of behavior and activities.
