You can have an eclectic group of friends (friends from diverse groups),

Why is it called electric?
The Greeks first discovered electricity about 3000 years ago. Its name came
from the word "elektron", which means amber. Amber is the yellow, fossilised
rock you find in tree sap. The Greeks found that if they rubbed amber
against wool, lightweight objects (such as straw or feathers) would stick to
it.
Methods, beliefs, ideas, etc. that are eclectic combine whatever seem the
best or most useful things from many different areas or systems, rather than
following a single system: an eclectic style/approach. an eclectic taste in
literature.
Alam Aara
Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single
paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories,
styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies
different theories in particular cases.
"Eclectic" is generally considered a positive word. It is used to describe a
person or thing that is diverse and broad in their tastes, interests, or
sources of inspiration.
