Creating Html.DropDownList with Values

I am trying to create a dropdown list that contains values from my data model. I cannot seem to get this to work inside of my view:

@Html.DropDownList("Program Types", 
new SelectList(Model.Select(x => x.ProgramType.ProgramType).Distinct().OrderBy(x => x),
Model.Select(x => x.ProgramType.ProgramTypeId).Distinct().OrderBy(x => x)))
