Most of the fraternity chapters at Nebraska usually have some rules governing when pledges can drink. One chapter has a ban on TV, not even allowing them to be brought into pledge rooms. Pledges are allowed to watch tv during special exceptions to the rule (football games and major news events mainly). Of course this ends up being a de facto ban on video games as well.
My chapter does not allow pledges to drink from noon Sunday to 5pm on Thursday when in Lincoln. Obviously it is a very carefully crafted rule that allows a great time but you get your work done too. Interestingly, most people usually follow this same habit of drinking through their four years for the most part, or at least solidly until they turn 21.
