You could rearrange the ifs.

class MyStruct < Struct
  # Override the initialize to handle hashes of named parameters
  def initialize *args
    # I think this is called a guard clause
    # I suspect the *args is redundant but I'm not certain
    return super *args unless (args.length == 1 and args.first.instance_of? Hash)
    args.first.each_pair do |k, v|
      # I can't remember what having the conditional on the same line is called
      self[k] = v if members.include? k
    end
  end
end
