Coming from a chapter that still does the Sweetheart thing, it's a big deal to the guys and it isn't something a freshman is likely to win. Just continue supporting the guys and be genuine in your efforts.
My chapter's last few sweethearts have always been chosen in their junior or senior year and are girls that have been supporting us for 2-4 years. You're not likely to win now.
Also, when a girl tries to "campaign" and win over the guys (such as baking cookies, making t-shirts saying 'I <3 XYZ', etc), then the guys take notice and see through your insincere attempts.
The Sweetheart title should be an honor to you and not just something you want to do because it'll make you cool.
ETA: You also mentioned that you weren't in a sorority and were'nt planning on joining one. Well to be honest, there are a lot of chapters that would never consider choosing a non-Greek girl as sweetheart. Politics and PR also has some role in the voting of Sweetheart. I know of chapters that would never give the Sweetheart title to a girl who is in XYZ, or isn't greek, etc. Just a thought.
