fraternises
Socializes with peers
Fraternises is the British spelling of fraternizes, meaning to associate or mingle in a friendly way, often with people one might be expected to avoid: The boss doesn't fraternise with the staff.
Originally military, describing soldiers mixing with enemy civilians or troops.
The word carries a hint of impropriety—crossing boundaries that perhaps shouldn't be crossed.
