This is so Google question.

I took two most important keywords from your question - "random" and "sql" and Googled the concatenated string.
The very first link answers your question. See it yourself - Google search - random sql[^]

Wasn't that simple?! :)

Try something like this:

SELECT TOP(3) MemberName
FROM Member
ORDER BY NEWID()
