Upon seeing the pictures of the campus snowball fight I remembered reading about troops of the Texas Brigade starting a small engagement with some of their friends, which escalated into the Texans attacking the Arkansans in their brigade, to the Texas Brigade attacking neighboring brigades, complete with flags flying, bands playing, and officers out front of their units drawn up in battle lines, until ultimate an entire division is involved in an all out brawl. They created such an uproar, Federal troops across the Rappahanok River are put on an alert to receive an "imminent" Confederate assault. Casualties are minimal, mainly a couple of broken bones and some bloody noses and head wounds due to some rocks ending up in the middle of the snowballs.
