Not initiated yet, can I rush another fraternity?

I guess nobody gave you the memo that starting a chapter of a fraternity or sorority is a LOT of work. And the colony class is not going to necessarily be the makeup of the organization in a few years. However, you have to be willing to put in the work, and part of that work is making up for what you see as a deficit in member quality.

If you don't like this group of guys or don't have it in you to do the work, quit. Hopefully you're right and some other group will pick you up. But do them a favor and get out now. The longer you are an albatross around their neck the harder time they're going to have determining the identity they want to make for themselves. Someone consciously or subconsciously telling them they're a bunch of dorks who couldn't make it anywhere else is not going to help them get where they're going.

If you don't like the organization - then leave. Check with your advisor or the headquarters person in charge of the colony. You can ask them if you are eligible to join another fraternity - just be polite about the question.

And as for thinking that being a colony charter member is "badass" for your credentials - it only would be to people who are greek. If you have your resume in front of a non-greek who went to a school without greek life, they probably wouldn't care.
