How does the department head know that? What does “getting along well with others” mean?

The dept. head has identified Jamyll as  someone who warrants concern. So, regardless of Jamyll's circumstances or motivations, he had to recover from an unflattering label.

I would talk to him about how he’s doing, to see if he’s feeling like he shouldn’t prioritize peer relationships, in order to be successful academically.  I would talk to him about how valuable peer relationships can be.  Maybe you can go along on your own now, and maybe that’s what you want, but it’s healthy to have a support system in place!  He can also mentor others.

Should he like the other math majors? Are they jerks?

Be sure not to blame anyone. Is it that there is no one there that Jamyll identifies with in the department? Has there been an experience that have made them feel unsafe? Are they getting the lay of the land before putting themselves out there? Is there a way to make a safe way for the students to interact with each other.

Department chair bought this up. This didn’t come from Jamyll.

Does the department usually monitor students and how they get along with others? Has the department head checked in with other advisors whose students they are concerned about?

I would want to see first whether he is content with his current situation.

Talk to Jamyll about how they have been able to (or not able to) connect with others in the department. How can I help you? Have you run into difficulties with interactions with others? Have you found anyone you have felt safe talking to?

An introverted person is likely to keep pretty much to themselves, it’s ok

Try to start up a conversation with him and other colleagues at the event. Continue running the conversation until Jamill is actively engaged with others and gradually bow out.

My first fear, based solely on GPA, is that he feels he needs to focus solely on school and talking to people isn’t a part of that in his mind, and also that he might be feeling a lot of pressure to perform well which doesn’t leave him time to build relationships.

This makes me think about how the events are structured and whether they encourage connection.

Jamyll needs someone (me) to check in with him and give him some personal attention.

Does Jamyll want to be social with the other majors? Is that a necessary component?

This suggests the problem is with Jamil instead of with how others may be treating him . I would point this out to the department head
