Butler Community College wishes to congratulate and celebrate our "Order of the Purple" candidates. The Order of the Purple was established to recognize graduates who were outstanding in scholarship, leadership, service and character. The first group of seven students was inducted into the ORDER OF THE PURPLE in the spring of 1937. Over the years, the requirements for this award have changed as standards and practices have changed.Today, to be eligible for this honor, students must have completed 30 resident Butler hours and hold a 3.75 or higher combined (institutional and transfer) grade point average. Students inducted into ORDER OF THE PURPLE receive a commemorative medallion to wear at Commencement as a distinctive symbol of their academic achievement.
