You're right, it's natural for people to gravitate towards the people they already know/are familiar with or like and it'll take time for anyone new to bed in. Especially all in a large group together. But that's not cliquey.  
 
A clique implies a "Mean Girls"esque club where people are purposely excluded or pushed out. That happens extremely rarely IMO.

 Just seen this before I replied, not to me it doesn;t :S
Clique just means a friendship group that quite hard to...dare I say...penetrate
