I fell like i could be a good asset to the organization as far a leadership experience and maturity is concerned, and it would be jumping into another type of brotherhood. Thanks in advance.

I've heard of "older" men joining fraternities more often than it happens in sororities. So yes, you have a shot.
I'll be honest though and tell you that this gave me pause, "It will suck being talked down to by 19-20 yr old during rush". If you become a brother you're likely going to have chapter officers, heck maybe even advisors, who are younger than you. Some recent alums may be jerks and try to give you a hard time too.
How will you feel about that and how do you think you'll handle it? It's not too different than when your senior officer is younger than you in that for the most part you'll just have to deal with it. But you're not expected to actually like and be friends with your senior officer.
Just something to consider. Hopefully you find a brotherhood that's right for you and not full of guys who "talk down" to you during rush or later.
Good luck.
