fraternity/sorority hazings, swearing in ceremonies, graduations, sure
we have...

They're a hold-over whose purpose may no longer be clear; vestigial

That's not it. The New York marathon isn't a tribe. It's a small
city moving through a large city. If you had, say, a group of New
Balance 990 enthusiasts who got together to run long distances in
their chosen shoe, that would be a tribe. Much like PDMLers at GFM,
or at any other PDML gathering for that matter.
