Expenses
Membership Fees Expense $4917.01
Promo Expense $0.00

The reason you are having difficulties is that you are using the wrong formulas.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
That is the same thing as sating Assets – Liabilities = Equity
So if the only asset you have is the cash in the bank of $3,840.77 and you have NO liabilities, then your equity would be:
3,840.77 – 0 = $3,840.77 in Equity
Equity is a running total. It is made up of previous year's equity PLUS this years net income.

I took the totals of equity and assets from the ledger, so is there somewhere I went wrong?

Yes.
You need to verify your accounts.
If you have $3,840.77in cash that ALL belongs to the organization and $0 in liabilities, your equity is $3840.77
How was the Equity calculated in the ledger? Check to make sure those numbers were right.
Also veryify that the entire cash amount is your cash.

For calulating the capital at the last day of the accounts closed is:
Opening capital
+ capital introduced during the year
- drawings made during the year
+ profit / net income of the year
-------------------------------------
Closing capital
---------------------------------
So I think the difference is on account of opening capital.
