6 rows of 8 would be: 6x8=48
48 total members.

There are many other ways, but two of them would be:
1) 3 rows of 16
2) 4 rows of 12

Answer:

48 members.

Explanation:

We have 6 rows with 8 members per row. Then, the total is

8 members * 6 rows = 48 members.

Now, 48 = 6*8 and also 48 = 12*4 or 48 = 16*3. Then, they can line up in 4 rows of 12 or 12 columns of 4 and also in 16 rows of 3 or 3 columns of 16.
