Could dividing work be considered hazing?

I understand that you can not ask a new member (pledge) to do something that the rest of the chapter would not do. However, can a chapter separate new members (pledges) from the members (actives) regarding same activities?

For example - house clean up.

Say a fraternity has 30 members (actives) and 10 new members (pledges). Say it only takes 10 members to clean the house each Saturday. As such, you want to have four separate groups of 10 each so that a member (new or old) would only need to clean the house once a month. Is it hazing to have one group made up entirely of new members (pledges)?

Or say you had each class year - i.e. senior (includes 5th years), junior, sophomore, freshman - as a group. In this case, if a pledge was a sophomore, he would do clean up duty with the sophomore actives.

And kind of a follow up, if you divide the work as noted above, would the groups all have to be the same size? In theory, a small group would be doing more work.
