I would suggest avoiding "Fraternally." In some GLOs, that is the appropriate sign-off for brothers/sisters only. For example, although one sees variants of it, the traditional sign-off for correspondence between brothers in my Fraternity is:

Fraternally yours,
In FMA,
MysticCat

For the same reason, I would avoid "In the Bonds." While it is true, as JupiterTC said above, that all Greeks are in bonds of some sort, "In the Bonds" implies that the letter-writer and the receiver of the letter are bound by the same bonds -- the implication is "Yours in the Bonds of ABC." And again, "In the Bonds" in the traditional sign-off for use between members in some GLOs.

I would either go with something generic like "Sincerely" or "Very Truly Yours," or with something that cannot be confused with a GLO specific sign-off, such as "Yours in the Spirit of Interfraternal/Panhellenic Cooperation."

Just mty $0.02.
