Kevin is right. The OP needs to realize that the chapter was probably already billed by the national organization. In the case of my own org, paperwork is turned in within 48 hours of accepting a bid, and the chapter is billed at that time for new member fees. In this case, it sounds like the chapter was already billed for initiation and other new membership fees on your behalf. If you can confirm that they have been billed, then you owe it.
That said, I think you could have an argument for them dropping you after the initiation fee due date, if was recently or while they were determining whether to terminate your pledgeship. If you had dropped, then I would say that you definitely owe the money.
