The pledges don't live in the house ... why should they be the ones cleaning it? Cleaning duties should either be divided evenly among all brothers, or all those who live in the house.
I wouldn't say it's "hazing" unless, like you said, you were making them scrub the house with toothbrushes or anything, but it does strike me as odd. When there aren't any pledges, who cleans the house then? I think the brothers will be less likely to leave messes if they know that they, rather than someone else, will have to clean them up.
