I think its too early to be lavailered because I don't want my sisters to think that I am not taking the process seriously. How long should I wait into being an active before I get lavaliered? We do a beautiful candlepassing, so I want to respect traditions.

Lavaliering has been discussed here ad naseum and there is no standard lavaliering practice or time frame. It depends on your school/chapter/etc.:
