I can't tell read the number well enough to tell you a chapter, but if you can you can find a list of active chapters here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...Delta_chapters

Single letter chapters are older than double letter chapters. Lower numbers are earlier members.
The back of that KD badge has the initials "P.E.P." at the top. Then Sigma and 589 below.

There could be another Greek letter in front of the Sigma; but, it does not appear in a crisp imprint like the Sigma. So that could just be a stray mark on the back of the badge or trick of the camera. Looking at the list of chapters you gave, there is no Sigma single-letter chapter and there isn't a "____ Sigma" chapter that would immediately appear to fit the bill. Possibly Beta Sigma chapter from Univ. of So. Miss.?

At any rate, that's what I got from staring at the photo for a minute.
