One of Eight Out of 4,700 (William and Mary)
 

And now from William and Mary, an October 27 ‘09 news story about, well,
just another “typical sorority girl” ( Many of us on GC know what those are, right?)

Excerpt (boldface emphasis added):

Kirsten Bertsch ’10 was awarded the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement at Fort Eustis Aug. 29. Bertsch was one of eight ROTC cadets selected from a national pool of 4,700 rising college seniors to receive the award.

The Bronze Cross is awarded to ROTC cadets who embody the values of military, scholastic and civic excellence.

Bertsch joined ROTC as a freshman at the College of William and Mary to help offset the cost of tuition.

“What really drew me to the program, though, was just the Army lifestyle,” Bertsch said. “I [have] lived on and around Army installations my whole life and, as cliche as it sounds, I wanted to give back to my country because it’s already given me so much.” . . .

“It can be a large time commitment, but as with any other activity, you get out what you put in,” she said.
Bertsch, an English major, is also a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.
.
. . . After graduation, Bertsch will be commissioned into the U.S. Army to pursue a career in military intelligence. . . .

very cool!!

^^yep! good news!

very nice!:)

That's super!
She's an English major? Poor thing, she was probably looking for a job! (Speaking as a low-salaried English major myself!)

I think the article says she's being commissioned. Job search done and done! :)
