I'm sorry, I hope I wasn't using confusing terminology. I was given a copy of that book to use for my new member training. I refer to it as being "public" because:
a) I was not an initiated Gamma Phi at the time of receipt. Since one would not give a "secret" book to people who are NOT members, it seems reasonable to me to conclude that it does not contain any ritual information (and it doesn't).
b) I was not instructed that the book was to be "kept secret".
c) I've seen several copies up for sale on eBay.
Please let me clarify. This is a history book. It describes the founders, Syracuse University, the different award pins, Gamma Phi through the decades, etc. Trust me, it isn't *that* exciting. LOL (lots of pictures of ladies having luncheons and bake sales).
