Anytime a pledge group is singled out for a particular duty that is not part of new member education, it's hazing. I agree with everyone else, either everyone cleans the house (brothers and pledges) or hire a service. By keeping the pledges segregated based on performance of menial duties, you do not build brotherhood, you build divisions between what's a brother and what is a pledge, and that creates self-perpetuating problems for the chapter. A pledge is the future of your chapter, you treat him/her with respect, and in turn, they will respect you and the chapter.

This is especially true if brothers purposely mess things up worse than they need to, just because they know the pledges will have to clean it up. That's just childish. Initiated members should be setting the example for the new members.

All for one, and one for all.
