Phi Sigma Alpha (PSA) is actually more similar to AOA, but it doesn't have a check list in ERAS next to AOA whereas SSP does. What is the requirement to obtain SSP at KCU? At one school, someone described SSP was like, "How many Saturdays did you show up to paint a school building down the road?" -- more like extracurricular activity than academic achievement.

It doesn't hurt to apply though, but say if the extra work interferes the time you need to excel academically or to do research. I wouldn't bother. Ppl match fine without SSP anyway and it doesn't hold the same weight as AOA.
