How old is the house? In older houses, the main power for the room was ran to the ceiling light box, then to the switches and outlets. Newer houses are ran to outlets & switches then a switchleg to the light box. Easy way to tell w/out removing fan/light is at the switches, older houses they used the black & white of the same romex wire (aka backfed).
