The symbol is used by a number of different groups and fraternities such as Skull & Bones Yale University. There is no substantial reason for the bones are crossed, they are a skull and bones because they symbolize death. Or, in some cases be linked to immortality. The Knights Templar Masonic first used the symbol Skull & Bones. Crossbones originally used to symbolize Golgotha, the place crucifixion of Jesus.
