There were 13 informants in this study with 10 main informants and 3 additional informants. The results of this study indicate that there are several reasons for a person to become a member of the USU IMIB, one of which is because the informant wants to find an environment with the same atmosphere as the area of origin. There are several things that show the dynamics of the USU IMIB organization, one of which is that USU's IMIB membership is already open to all students. who studied in the city of Medan, while at first it was only a place to accommodate the aspirations of students from West Sumatra. In addition, the management at USU's IMIB is regenerative and does not look at the gender of its members. Anyone has the right to become a leader and administrator at USU's IMIB. The forms of solidarity that exist between USU IMIB members are mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity.

Meanwhile, one of the things that reflects organic solidarity at USU's IMIB can be seen when several members join only because of interest factors
