Congratulations, Seniors
A
rgent Financial Group, founded in 1990 by CEO Kyle McDonald
HZ0312, is an independent client asset services firm responsible
for more than $80 billion in client assets. In November, Kyle was
named Alumnus of the Year by the Louisiana Tech University Alumni
Association. He used his acceptance speech to announce the Argent
Innovation Fund at Louisiana Tech, established with a $1.5 million gi to
the university; this fund will support the Enterprise Campus in Ruston.
is gi was one of many ways Kyle has shared his success and gratitude
with his Louisiana Tech and Eta Zeta roots.
LEARNING RESPONSIBILITY
Kyle was the first in his family to join a fraternity, having gone through
recruitment at a neighbor's suggestion. At Sigma Nu, he saw a focus on
genuine brotherhood along with a drive to serve others before oneself (a
virtue he applies to Argent's success). He went on to serve as the chapter's
treasurer and recruitment chairman, followed by Tech's student body
president. Best of all, he met his wife of 41 years, Tisdale, through Greek life.
"ere were lots of fun parties, but more importantly, the fraternity
encouraged personal growth through leadership opportunities—both in
Eta Zeta and on campus," Kyle said.
Argent employs over 40 Louisiana Tech graduates, some of whom are
Kyle's own Sigma Nu brothers; he knows he can count on them through
the bond they share. Kyle also enjoys getting together with brothers from
his era for fishing and hunting trips.
FAMILY AND BROTHERHOOD
In addition to his lasting relationships and support of the university, Kyle
humbly co-chaired the capital campaign to rebuild Eta Zeta's chapter
house. "When the old house suffered tornado damage, it was time to step
in and help others already providing leadership," he said.
Kyle holds a law degree from Louisiana State University and spent his
pre-Argent career in banking law. Today, he is a member of multiple local
boards, including the Louisiana Tech College of Business Advisory Board
and the board of Council for a Better Louisiana. He enjoys his free time
with Tisdale and their four married children and eight grandchildren.

Staying True to Our Roots
