It only comes up in the opening dialog section, mentioned in the paragraphs about the early founding of many professional fraternities at Michigan.[19]

None of the men were experienced in fraternity work and no new men were initiated. But [~only] one of the nine charter members maintain[ed] his standing in the general fraternity, and he affiliate[ed] with Rho chapter. No further report of Gamma and its men [would] appear [in subsequent histories].”
