We are allowed to wear it on our person (clothes and jewelry) but what I was always told it was in a more formal setting--"badge attire"

Even though we are allowed to use it after initiation, I seriously doubt we would be allowed to put it in a magazine. I think its the same logic as not being in the media (news, etc) wearing our letters.

WOW @ the Marie Claire article. I seriously hope an Alpha Phi doesn't work at the magazine, because I wouldn't want one of my sisters being associated with that!

Even if an Alpha Phi did work at the magazine, she would not have the ability to authorize the use of the crest in a magazine. It's either trademarked or copyrighted...either way, the magazine would have needed expressed permission from the executive office to use it legitimately...and something makes me think they didn't.
