Given what Nick, who is a Beta, said above, I take it that Beta does initiate colony members.

But yeah, ditto on the attitude.

Not knowing you, not knowing your campus, and not being part of Beta's HQ, we have no idea whether Beta could deny your request or whether joining another fraternity would be easy for you.
You said HQ told you about the resignation process -- did you ask them whether they could deny your request, and if so, what the grounds could be?
Based on previous GC discussions on the subject, the NIC rule is that you may not join another fraternity unless Beta states in writing to the HQ of the fraternity that you want to join that you are no longer a member of Beta. But that doesn't mean a chapter will offer you a bid. Some might, some might not because they choose not to, some might not on general principle (like Kevin says of Sigma Nu above).
We just have no way of knowing.
