The fraternity chapters I know of that had cold airs/sleeping porches/open airs/whatever, did not allow girls in them. If you were hooking up, you took the girl back to your "other" room, and used the couch or futon as necessary (hopefully, for your roommates' sake you put some sheets down and made sure you did laundry often). I do know that the Betas at KU do not allow any girls above the first floor - Seniors and early roll number Juniors got the pick of the downstairs rooms first. I've heard but can't confirm, that the basement of the house gets used by younger guys, and that there's a fair amount of sneaking girls upstairs as well, but again, I have no idea how true that is. It's just one reason why I'd never have been able to be a KU Beta.

As for alarm clocks, every chapter I've heard of uses a system where pledges each take a week or two in which they are required to get up at 4:30 or 5am and then wake brothers up at the requested time throughout the rest of the morning. I'd imagine most times you could just put your schedule down for the semester and it'd stay pretty constant from week to week.
