VWIL - was the Commomwealth of Virginia's answer to refusing to allow women entrance to VMI.
The federal government took VMI to court - the supreme court and VMI lost.
VWIL was started in 1995 at Mary Baldwin and the cadets take ROTC through VMI's rotc program. They are also afforded the benefit of a senior military college in guaranteed active duty if they so choose.
In 1997, VMI became coed when they lost their case in the US Supreme court in a 7-1 ruling.
VWIL remains in existence today.
