Skulls, Crossbones and Carrie Underwood

Posted: September 8th, 2008 at 11:31 am  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Carrie UnderwoodShe may not even know her last name, and she may take a Louisville Slugger to a souped-up four-wheel drive. So is it any wonder Carrie Underwood's messenger bag is sending quite a don't-mess-with-me message? She was carrying it when she left NYC after her Fashion Rocks performance. The hip take on the skull and crossbones image on her bag is just what her casual outfit needs to show she's got a little poison in her.

    Ha. This sounds good, but actually the Skull and Crossbones emblems represent the Tri Sigma Sorority she was in in college….

    nothing wrong with a little poison because with her position in her career she never knows if someone really wants to be friends or dating friends or if they just want something from her like (advancement in their career, etc.)
    no all kidding around it is the soroity symbol but if I was in Carries shoes I wouldn’t take no gruff over anyone either!! Like this deal with Jessica all media hyped up because Carrie wouldn’t ever catfight over any man when she could have any man she wants!! Just a way to sell magazines and advance Jessicas career!

    I admire Carrie so very much. I am impressed by what Carrie doesn’t say. Also, I look forward to watching the CMA’s tonight.

    I admire Carrie also and I really believe that all that has been said. She probally has not lost one wink of sleep over this.Carrie is not a liar and enough said.

    Agreed, it’s the sorority symbol. But, nowadays, it sure can’t hurt to have a little extra “don’t mess with me” attitude (or bag).

    First off Carrie has all the protection she will ever need. Second I dont think she knows anything about skull and bones, but if so God sees all things, so she needs to becareful.

    I can tell you all 100% that the skull and crossbones Carrie frequently sports is related to Tri Sigma. I am a Sigma and we all love to sport that symbol because it symbolizes our dedication to the sorority forever. If you go on the national website or local chapter websites it will tell you the same thing. There is a skull and crossbones on our badge as well. As much as some want to believe, it has nothing to do with Jessica nor a sign to back off.

    Beware of the oaths you make, for no one can serve two masters!

    What next are you guys going to pick on Carrie for. I know it is hard to find anything to use against her but you are really stretching thing now. Who cares what is on her bag… She could care less about Jessica. Lets talk about something important.

  • toniez7 says:

    No one is blaming Carrie for anything. I doubt she knows about the symbols and what they really stand for. But there are many in the industry that do and they promote the symbol showing everyone there allegiance to those organizations which goes a lot further then some fraternity.

    But soon people will have a better understanding on whats really happening in the world!

    Wow! You jumped right on that one. You were so busy defending her you did not see that I was giving her a compliment. I do not have to like her… Get a grip.

    Carrie is an amazing singer a beautiful person inside and out. I think the bag is cute and she doesn’t mean anything sinister by carrying it. She has too much class to worry about a cat fight or sending messages to anyone. She is to busy to worry about such things!!

    I love Carrie and just to prove she is just the down home girl. You can go into your local Target store and purchase one just the same. Carrie is as sweet and down to earth as they come. She doesn’t care what the label says, where it was purchased, or what the picture is. If she thinks its cute and likes it, she’s gonna get one. She’s very normal just like all of us. No airs about that girl. Love her.

    Carrie Underwood is the best thing that has happened to country music. Her strenghts in her beliefs and her moral values speak for themselves. In comparision ( there really is no comparision ) to Jessica Simpson, Carrie Underwood is not only significantly more talented but she has a whole lot more pretty inside and out the Jessica ever will. Jessica should be thankful that Carrie Underwood is not looking to be more than friends with Romo. I believe that if Romo had the chance to have Carrie forever Jessica would quickly be history. And Romo’s family would probaly celebrate.

    I love your songs even your new one ”Just a Dream” What made you write that song? I love the song ” My Last Name” what made you do that song? ”Befroe He Chearts” what made you do about that song? ”Jeuses Thake The Wheel” that song give my gandma some maorbies about me, becaues my grandma was taking me to day care and I was about 5 or 6 year old, my grandma don’t see the brach in the road and she put har arm on me to hold me and she went in the diath and ran off the road. And every time she wacths that song it reminds her of it.

    Your fan Alicia Coulter

    I am a tri-sigma as well! And I am from one of the Oklahoma chapters. Carrie was from the other Oklahoma chapter! She definitely has to bag to represent her lifelong sisterhood! =)

    SLAM!
    (to all you tri sigmas out there)

    First, to all of you fellow Sigmas, how proud are you to call Carrie your sister? I know I am!!!

    Second, Toniez7. It’s a sorority, not a fraternity. Fraternities are men’s oraganizations. If you are not a part of a Greek organization please do not say things about it. You do not understand what they are about and not about. Carrie DOES understand what the skull and crossbones are based on what she knows and what’s important to her. She is still very true to her sisters if you watch the video for “All American Girl” you will see her in her Sigma Sigma Sigma letters.
