Beside, as Gusteau says your example does nothing to support the use of "In Panhellenic." Your example of its use as a noun is the usage that means "Panhellenic Council." Are we supposed to interpret your valediction as meaning "In Council"?

Sorry, but unless you can find a credible example of "Panhellinic" being used to mean "Panhellenic Spirit" or something similar, I'm sticking with my opinion that "In Panhellenic" as a valediction looks .. well, stupid.
Love it that you are playing Hobbs to her Calvin.
