On the other hand the frats that have a reputation of being hard to get into practically have pledges beating down their door to get a bid. The fraternities don't tell them how bad or hard it is.

Hard doesnt mean that it has to be hazing. At my chapter we tell Rushees that our pledgeship is time demanding (i.e. pledge tests, community service, a thing called Blackbooks basically mini-interviews) but we never haze.
Hazing is meant to create a bond by putting a group of people through a traumatic experience but that only bonds that group with itself and not the rest of the members in the house.
