I waited just under two years before I became an adviser at the chapter where I was a member. While I don't know if the two year period is required, I think it's definetely a good idea if you're going to be advising at the same campus. It gave me time to gain some perspective. I was active the fall of my fifth year, but I was very busy so I never got to know the incoming freshmen that well. So, this past school year I only really knew the senior class (which was very small) and a few of the juniors.
Since you're on a different campus and as long as the proper channels of your organization are fine with it, I don't think there should be a problem. One of the advisers on our board, she's been a member for at least five years is now going back to school to get her PhD and she's still able to work advising into her schedule. Another one of the former advisers was in Vet School and advised for two years. So I think that it's entirely possible to balance things out.
Do you know which position you would be advising? I think that's definetely something to take into consideration.
