Yes. Every visible star is a member of one or another of the 88 official constellations. Some of the fainter ones don't really contribute much to the pattern, though.

The 88 constellations take up the entire sky, so it's no place for a star to be that isn't in a constellation. There's a difference between what astronomers mean when they say "constellation" and what most people interpret it as meaning. The name for the common meaning that astronomers use is "asterism" ... a group of stars that make a pattern of some kind.
