Disclaimer: In no way am I encouraging anything that meets even the strict technical definition of hazing.
This is a fraternity, so I would assume pledges show up the next day at any location an org event was held. When I was an active & we had the two geographically separated houses, we split house hours (something like MWF at one and TTh at the other) expressly to ensure both were clean and taken care of. That compounded the issue. You had one group becoming increasingly renegade and running pledgeship the way they saw fit when pledges were at their house, versus the "official" program at the other house and everywhere else. I realize you're talking about two near campus places, but if there is any difference in the people that hang out at one location versus the other, then that will play out in everything else.
Obviously you can't define it by jr/sr either. You wouldn't be able to keep both houses full for starters. But, that would still create a dynamic operation. You'd have an internal division by class rank rather than all being one brotherhood. Redefining the basis of a major division in your chapter doesn't solve the problem.
What I think a couple people have said is multiple houses are not desirable, but can work on a short-term basis IF co-located.
